The 2018 Clinton Middle School Cross Country team will field its largest team in school history with 30 runners.  Coach Delezenne said, “after a successful 2017 campaign, I fully expected that we would grow.” The Redskins will open their season at Archbold, Ohio on September 8, 2018.  “The kids have been working hard to get ready for their opener. This group has a pitbull mentality and wants to get better each day.”

The girls team brings back a wealth of talent from last season which included five invitational championships and runner-up at the County Championships.  The team will be led returning runners Cassie McNatt, Samantha Coots, Allison Bowles, Paige Shankland, Emma Shankland, and Faith Blackburn. Newcomers to the girls team include Mia Struck, Jana Hillegonds, Maya Freeman, RJ Handy, Sarah King, Mieah Rodriguez, and Ava Roesler.

The boys team looks to surprise this season as it brings back four returning runners and 13 newcomers.  Returning for 2018 includes Caden Zbikowski, Lucas Goodman, Bridger Freeman, and Justin Celmer. Newcomers to the boys team include Jerry Adams, Caden Arntz, Logan DeVitto, Zack Gillies, Keegan Huston, Travis Faust, Max Hampel, Gage Blackburn, Nikolas DeVitto, Drew McNatt, Michael Ruhl, Brodie Stipe, and David Wegner.
